Example: [[ -z $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR ]] && echo "Your desktop is: $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR" || echo "$HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs not loaded yet."
Which is the same as: (note the '\', that tells the line isnt dont yet, there must be no trailing spaces!)
Which i prefer for 'short code' like setting a variable.
The && is appending the following command if previous command returns 0/true.
The || indicates what is done if the previous condition/command failed.
